The Weekly Reset by Taliesin and Evitel - World First Race, Dreadwake Returns, Sylvanas Broadcast Text

In the latest edition of "The Weekly Reset," Taliesin and Evitel discuss this past week's news topics, including the World First race, latest 8.2 PTR updates, return of the Dreadwake, and the recent Sylvanas broadcast text.

So Crucible of Storms turns out to be a lot tougher than Method, Pieces and Limit might have predicted, while patch 8.2 continues to flesh out on the PTR as we learn more about the new mounts, pets and profession recipes of Mechagon and Nazjatar. There's also spoiler-tastic Sylvanas dialogue datamined, hinting that she might know more about Nzoth and Azshara than we thought.

And while we are waiting for WoW Classic on one hand and Rise of Azshara on the other, there's been drama around the Returning Dreadwake mount on the store, Blizzcon 2019's new tiered ticket prices and players being banned for mods. Knowledge is power.

I really enjoy the Taliesin & Evitel weekly reset its light-hearted and funny.

Me too, I've been a big fan of their work this expansion. They do a pretty good avoiding being doom-and-gloom or overly enthusiastic about things, unless it's something obscure and related to lore, then Taliesin loses his mind, which is pretty funny.

I really don't understand the position these two occupy in the community. I further don't understand WOWHead's desire to post them week-after-week like this. No other content creator enjoys the position these two do and many make far better content (Bellular comes to mind).

A good point, the only problem with Bellular is the large amount Video's he puts out I am sure WoWHead wouldn't be able to keep up with him lol.

So should they be required to hold the same position as other content creators? What point would that serve? I am sick of the nonstop doom and gloom from Bellular and enjoy the more positive take on certain things BfA. Not to say it's perfect (far from it) but unlike Bellular they don't grasp at straws trying to make something sound worse than it really is. In the end - to each their own, if you don't like them, don't watch them... it's no reason to think Wowhead should not promote them for others to enjoy.

Bellular doesn't even play the game right now.

I think T&E appeal to the community because they're relatable. They're not mythic raiders. They're not some impersonal Youtube channel churning out content simply because they feel the need to keep up with the news. They're not performatively angry all the time.

They're just wow players, who quite like the game, and who make videos about this game they like. They don't even pretend to have started in Vanilla or have the best ilvl or gear or raider.io score. They're not trying to prove anything. They care about things like the story and getting that one mount they set their heart on and doing pretty well in their heroic guild. Things I care about. Things probably 90% of players care about. And they tend to be positive, which is sorely needed in a world where people are frankly exhausted by even justified constant negativity.

Also, plenty of content creators get featured on wowhead. It's a thing that's quite easy to ignore if you're not interested in that thing.

I quite enjoy Taliesin & Evitel for the exact reason that they take a different position from other content creators. I have been playing WoW since vanilla and I have many dislikes to many of the changes of the game. Changes as early as mid wrath and beyond when the game simplification started. Yet I still love the game for what it is too and there are many other new things and quality of life changes I am thankful for. I enjoy the joy they still find in the game and I find them a breath of fresh air in a pool of negativity.

I am not saying that dislike and criticism towards the game isn't allowed or warranted. I have stopped playing on several occasions because I didn't like a direction. I am not a huge fan of the current RNG system for loot and miss the days where you had a good clear objective when running things. Though some of that negativity, such as what they bring up in this video with the Dreadwake, perhaps isn't warranted.

Easier said, I think their content is fine, though perhaps not for everyone. Just as I do not enjoy other content creators as much. I don't like the hyperbole and over exaggeration of problems some take. Or knee jerk reactions to something that is not fully understood yet. I feel the positive outlook is needed at least in some light in this community because many of us are drowning our own enjoyment in the negativity. They may not be for you, and that is cool. I however enjoy them and as a lurker of this site for years would enjoy their continued presence and updates. :)

T&E have a partnership with WowHead. They utilize WowHead for much of their material and frequently reference the site, and in return WowHead posts their weekly reset videos, like this one. The site doesn't always publish EVERY video T&E make, such as the infrequent 'Taliesin Talks' or other occasional videos they do. WowHead also posts other videos from other content creators they partner with, such as Nobbel.

Whether they make 'better' or 'worse' content is entirely subjective. A lot of people don't like T&E, and that's totally fine. A lot of other people do like them, and those of us who do genuinely enjoy their humor, their candor, and their enthusiasm. I also like Bellular, and a lot of other content creators as well. However, as someone else already pointed out, a lot of those content creators (Bellular, Nixxiom, Heelsvsbabyface, etc.) aren't currently playing the game, whereas T&E are.

Pretty much this. Wowhead has many different partnerships with other content creators. If you don't like them, that's ok! But many people do enjoy them and their features on this website (me included! I find it a good way to catch up on weekly wow news while I have breakfast or do some chores).

True but at least 95% of Bel's videos are about the content.60% of T&E videos are about their own guild progress/cute banter on their couch etc.

Meh, to each their own style I suppose. I prefer Bellular's "get-to-the-point" approach.Even with his sponsor speeches hehehe

I enjoy their videos, they are the only ones I ever watch. The other elitists and "I am the bests" can have their videos, I would like to see two real life people I can relate to in WoW. Something for everyone. I don't need to know "The Best", I'll never be in "The Best" group, I'll be with the Taliesin and Evitel's of the world. :-)

I like T&E. I like Bellular. Why do you want to take away stuff I like again? Because I can't like both?

Thumbs up for T&E.

As said here before, not only they are not angry players but they lay out news in a funny and understandable way, even for casual players like myself.

Good point i watch both of them and yes bellular is better plus ever since they got invited to blizz dev event, they are kinda starting to go pro blizz (not directly) but they are not criticizing bliz on wrong things and just say "it happens" and make it look like player base is the one at wrong (by selecting some idoit comments in forums and making bliz look good guy in those )
